May 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Imagine driving or riding over 7,000 miles for charity. Now imagine it on a motorcycle. That’s exactly what a group of riders led by Scott Kempe will be doing as they participate in the HOKA HEY Motorcycle Challenge (http://www.hokaheychallenge.com/)  to raise money for Blessings in a Backpack.

On June 20th riders from all across the country will be coming together for a 7,000+ mile run from Key West to the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Not able to make the ride? Supporters can make pledges - just a penny a mile - at http://www.HDFortMyers.com/. Visitors can even track Kempe’s progress at http://www.HDFortMyers.com/SKMAP/ and stay in touch via Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/HokaHey2010/) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Hot-Springs-SD/Hoka-Hey-Motorcycle-Challenge/169060858080?ref=ts&ajaxpipe=1&__a=9).  All funds raised as part of the penny drive for Kempe’s ride will be donated to Blessings in a Backpack.
